A film
distributor in mostly Muslim Malaysia—where movies on
sensitive issues are often banned—will steer
clear of Brokeback Mountain but try to show
Munich. United International Pictures, which has
distribution rights for both movies, said Thursday it will
apply to Malaysia's state-run Film Censorship board
for approval of Steven Spielberg's Munich,
which depicts the aftermath of the massacre of Israeli
athletes at the 1972 Olympics. Because of Malaysia's
Muslim majority population, the government is cautious
about Israeli and Jewish topics. It initially banned
Schindler's List, Spielberg's Oscar-winning epic
on the World War II holocaust.
